I found this on-board video that one of my racing buddies has on his putfile. its a little long, and the quality isn't that great, but it'll give you a pretty good idea what its like racing these little bikes. you can't race this close, bumping, kicking and rubbing on big bikes.

the video is of the backwards race. it's an 8 lap sprint and you run the track backwards. its usually a crowded race and you get absolutley no practice time. no hot lap or anything. you just grid up and go. what makes it even more interesting is that you use slightly different parts of the track than you do normally, so its slick too. we also cut off a portion of the track due to saftey reasons.

in this race we did do one sighting lap going the correct way around becuase they had just cleaned up some oil on the track and they wanted us all to see where it was. the camera man actually follows me around the track on the sighting lap (black leathers with 2 white stripes down back), but after that you don't see me.

I'm tired of fixing my mark-up for explorer all the time.Do everyone a favor and make the switch.
